Kenneth Holmes Cave (25 February 1874 – 19 May 1944) was a New Zealand cricket umpire. He stood in six Test matches between 1930 and 1933.[1][2]
Ken Cave was a member of a large family of cricketers in the Whanganui area.[3] A middle-order batsman, he played for Whanganui teams from the late 1890s till the mid-1920s, and was one of their leading batsmen when they held the Hawke Cup in 1914-15 and 1925–26.[4]
He became an umpire in the Whanganui area in the 1920s. Without having umpired a first-class match, but with the support of the English touring team, he was chosen to umpire all four matches in New Zealand's first Test series, against England in 1929-30.[5][6] He also umpired two of New Zealand's other four home Tests in the 1930s.
Cave's nephew Harry Cave captained the New Zealand Test team in the 1950s.
